I interpret this song both ways, it has too many references to The Sentry to not be about him at all. He's the mightiest of all Marvel superheros. An enhanced super soldier serum causes the sentry's molecules to be supercharged by the sun and move at a different rate than the rest of the world. He's been around since before the Fantastic 4, but no one remembers him because of the Watchtower. Bob Reynolds doesn't remember much about his life as a superhero; he lives his life as a regular person, a slob more or less, laying around the house watching tv and sleeping most of the time. The Watchtower is a kind of safeguard created so the Sentry doesn't remember his powers, and so the public forgets about The Void. The Void is the Sentry's alter ego. He claims that every time he does something good, the Void retaliates with something just as bad ("the strength of my High is the strength of my low"). "The Void is holding me tight." describes being crippled by the fear of the void taking over. Of course this is just my interpretation, as the Sentry is badass, but there are several things lines that don't quite fit. Nathan may be comparing himself to the Golden God of Good, but it's not clear if his statement about schizophrenia is true. He has referred to his alterego is General Beam, as he usually comes out after drinking some Jim Beam.
